IT'S NOT JUST A FEELING




It's not just a feeling that I have a crush on you
Last night I let my guard down so I can be with you
It's hard to admit I don’t love you since I met you
I am intoxicated with emotion and feelings for you
Nothing can turn down the joy I have spending time with you
In the morning I feel excited because I had you
As a juvenile feels spending Christmas Eve away from home
The cloud on my head is empty, without you I couldn't find a star
A night without you going to leave in my heart a scar
I will lose the feelings in my heart for I am deeply fond of you
Night and day my feelings I wouldn't change
For I have a soft spot for you; and scared it will forever stay
When it doesn't rain in November, the sun gets out of reach
But it can't stop the star from smiling; she knows you feelings I can’t breach

The grave can't contain a heart as mine destine to forever be with you

TODAY, NOT TOMORROW




Not tomorrow, today I need you in my hands
Today you caught my heart, tomorrow I can't wait that long
Hold my hands and tell me what you found
Do you feel the pulses in my heart meant only for you?
Because without you, I am all alone and lost in the world
Trying to finding happiness that doesn't exist without you
I tried to listen maybe a love song would ease my mind
Like watching the sky uncertain if there will be stars
Wished I am an hero in a movie starring in a fairytale
At the end kiss you, smile and wave farewell as my boat sails

LAST NIGHT AT THE CLUB




Last night at the club, the DJ played my song
An emotion once dark came back to life
The lyrics made my heart beat faster
I was completely out of this world
The heart, mind, body and soul became one
Dancing away feelings conjured of a long and hectic day

Maybe God spoke to the DJ on my behalf
I was carrying in me the sadness of a broken heart
I was clinging to the burden of the world on my shoulder
But the track played sink deep down into my heart
And I was all over the dance floor with a relief and smile
For it reminds me to be sober and not resentful inside

Music is a pill the heart needs when it grieves
It cools the body and takes her misery away
It calm the nerves so problems wouldn't weigh down a determined heart
I am glad the DJ played a graceful song last night
Tonight there would be no worries any more

For all the negative feelings in my heart are but no more
